The Plantation is a great place for dogs and children alike, with muddy puddles to wade through and explore in the warmer months, covered by trees you get shelter from rain and wind. You can walk straight down the middle on hardcore surface so can take pushchairs and wheelchairs without worrying they are going to get filthy. Well worth an explore!!

Brilliant tracks for kids to let off steam on their bikes!.. just take a spare set of clothes... they will be muddy! (our kids call it the "muddy place" - they love it.
